Xerox 5150 Printer Review

The Xerox WorkCentre 5150 laser copier is a faster version of the 5135 model, able to provide up to 55 pages per minute for the office that needs a little more speed. It can be configured with multifunction features like printing, and scanning, and offices can reduce their operating costs with affordable Xerox 5150 printer toner. Its upfront price is high, however, so it may be a while before the savings are evident.

The 5150 comes with an initial paper capacity of 1,100 sheets, which should be a good fit for the majority of offices, but additional trays can be added at any time, boosting the input capacity to a maximum of 4,700 sheets. The automatic document feeder at the top of the machine can hold up to 75 sheets at a time, and can scan at a maximum speed of up to 60 images per minute. It also supports duplex scanning for two-sided pages.

There are a number of small features included with the 5150 that add up to a lot of time saved in the long run. ID Card Copy allows for quick and simple copying of two-sided IDs, without the need to print and re-scan. The Print Around feature pauses a job when it needs different resources and continues through the queue, rather than stop the whole operation. The full-color control panel is also very intuitive to use, and workflows that are frequently used can be saved for fast access.

In comparison to the high cost of the device, the cost of toners is surprisingly affordable. Buyers can purchase WorkCentre 5150 toner cartridges in packs of two that have a total yield of up to 64,000 pages. Replacing the Xerox 5150 toner cartridges is as simple as opening the accessing panel and making the swap, and the savings on WorkCentre 5150 toner over time could help to justify the unit's expensive price.

The 5150 is an impressive machine with fast speeds and many useful and time-saving features. Its high price tag will probably leave out smaller offices, but the reduced cost of Xerox 5150 toner makes it an affordable solution in the long term.
